Book excerpt: With fewer troops permanently stationed overseas, prepositioned stocks of equipment and supplies have become an integral part of the Department of Defense's DoD ability to project forces into conflict areas faster. The importance of prepositioned stocks to the U.S. military was highlighted during recent operations in Iraq. The military used equipment and supplies stored at land sites in the region and offloaded mush of the stocks from its prepositioning ships. Perhaps more importantly, the availability of the sites gave the United States the facilities it needed to assemble forces for combat. Recognizing the importance of the department's prepositioning programs, Congress has made significant investments in these programs. In recent years, the services have collectively used over $1 billion each year to operate and maintain their prepositioning programs; by fiscal year 2005 this amount had declined to about $724 million, since a large portion of these stocks were used to support military operations in Iraq. However, billions of dollars in future investments will be needed to recapitalize equipment and develop future programs. The recently published National Defense Strategy indicates that prepositioning will continue to be an important aspect of DoD's defense posture in the future. The strategy establishes several goals for the future of these programs, including the need for the programs to be more flexible and increasingly joint in character.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2001, the Department of Defense (DOD) identified performance based logistics (PBL) as the preferred weapon system support strategy. Within DOD, PBL is the purchase of performance outcomes, such as system availability, rather than the purchase of individual elements of logistics support -- such as parts, repairs, and engineering support. Although PBL initially arose from efforts to reduce support costs, questions have arisen about whether PBL has reduced support costs as originally intended. GAO was asked to evaluate the extent to which DOD has used business case analyses to guide decisions related to PBL arrangements and the impact PBL arrangements have had on weapon system support costs. In conducting the review, GAO analyzed the implementation of PBL arrangements for 29 weapon system programs. GAO also looked at the use and characteristics of performance-based contracting in the United Kingdom's Ministry of Defence. GAO makes five recommendations, including that DOD require the development of business case analyses, clearly define specific criteria for their development, and require that the services improve their internal controls to ensure that the analyses are performed. GAO also recommends that DOD require program offices to collect and report detailed support cost data for their PBL arrangements. DOD generally concurred with these recommendations.

Book excerpt: " IUID technology allows DOD to assign a unique number to an item and use that number to manage that item in a variety of logistics processes. In 2003, DOD began implementation of IUID and has estimated that it could improve the accountability and maintenance of its property and equipment and save from $3 billion to $5 billion per year. Also, integrating and sharing UII data across DOD's enterprise information systems could enable DOD to track equipment as it moves between its components. GAO evaluated the extent to which DOD has (1) incorporated key elements of best management practices into its framework for IUID implementation, (2) marked items with IUID labels, and (3) developed the capability to share UII data across DOD in its enterprise information systems. GAO reviewed documents, interviewed cognizant officials, and reviewed DOD and GAO key practices for its analysis. "

Book excerpt: DLA manages about one-fifth of DOD's $95 billion in secondary item inventory, such as spare parts to keep military equipment ready and operating. GAO has identified DOD supply-chain management as a high-risk area due in part to ineffective and inefficient inventory-management practices and weaknesses in forecasting the demand for spare parts. These factors have contributed to the creation of on-order and on-hand excess inventory. GAO was asked to review DLA's inventory-management practices. GAO reviewed, among other things, the extent to which DLA has (1) developed and met goals to reduce on-hand inventory and on-order excess inventory while reducing backorders, and any challenges faced in doing so, and (2) implemented initiatives using a comprehensive management approach to improve inventory management. GAO analyzed inventory data from 2009 through 2013, evaluated DLA's inventory processes, and interviewed DLA and DOD officials.

This book was released on 2001 with total page 33 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the end of the Cold War, the Department of Defense has dramatically reduced its fighting forces and logistics infrastructure. The Department estimates it is spending about $59 billion a year on logistics support 1 programs to operate and sustain weapon systems, 2 but it reports that significant reductions can be achieved by adopting a variety of different logistics support practices. We reported in January 2001 that serious weaknesses persist throughout the Department's logistics activities and that it is unclear to what extent ongoing reengineering management improvement initiatives will overcome them. 3 The Department has taken a number of significant steps in recent years directed at improving its outdated and inefficient logistics processes. Specifically, the Office of the Secretary of Defense and each of the military services and appropriate Defense commands have established a number of significant logistics reengineering efforts. In addition, the Office of the Secretary of Defense developed the Fiscal Year 2000 Logistics Strategic Plan in August 1999, which outlines six overall objectives, a basic.
